The Powder Magazine

The Powder Magazine in Charleston

The Powder Magazine is the oldest public building in South Carolina, built in 1713 to store gunpowder for the city’s defenses. Its thick brick walls and unique design helped contain accidental explosions. During the Revolutionary War, it played a key role in protecting Charleston. Today, visitors can see original artifacts and learn about Charleston’s colonial military history.
